4th near Central was blocked off

KARSTEN CREIGHTNEY and ADAM BERMAN made custom t-shirts for the public in Karsten's studio at 4th and Central.  Karsten is the lithography professor at UNM, and Adam is the new studio manager there:

Adam makes me a t-shirt for $20

Adam sprays "unicorn tears" (bleach) over the printed t-shirt

The bleach turns the black into orange,

but not in the spots masked by the black print images

Outside were the UNM printmaking students selling their prints:
